A 39-year-old man from High Wycombe and a woman, also 39, have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit burglary, and released on bail.

Mr Brackin's family said the father of five, who was also a grandfather and great-grandfather, was "quite simply a lovely, bubbly gentleman" and they would "miss him dearly".

"He was a very proud man and a very neat and orderly one," a statement said.

"Everything in his home had a place and he didn't like anything out of that place.

"In his latter years, he didn't go anywhere without his slippers. He even attended the funeral of his beloved Rose in them earlier this year. He liked to be comfortable."
